Lots of love!

I meant to post a Happy Valentine's Day message yesterday, but I didn't, so I hope everyone HAD a great V-Day :D

Let me show you the card I made for my son to give at school to his classmates and teachers.
I made it with the sweet kit Is This Love by Colie's Corner, so I'll show you the kit first:

Cute, right?

Now let me show you Simple Girl Scraps' awesome new kit. It's perfect for love, baking and the love of baking and it's called Love to Bake!!

I used it to scrap the photos of my son meeting Minnie Mouse at Disneyland Paris. He just loved her, stared with admiration and even kissed her nose. Too cute!!

It's only $2 right now and well worth it, and it matches the colour swatch of the month for the Creative Junction at ScrapDelicious, so you can get other kits to match it and make a mega ;)

Happy New Year, scrappy bloggers!!

I know it's late-ish to say Happy New Year, but I hope it brings all good things to everyone!!

I can't possibly show you all I've done since I last blogged, but here's an update for the beginning of 2012. In RL we came back from France, my son Cédric caught a virus, so not much happened and I can't believe it's already the 17th... In scrappy life, that gave me time to scrap a bit more (as I couldn't clean or go anywhere with him at home) and the designers I scrap for have been designing lots, so I have lots to show.

Artgal Style will have a new kit this Friday, but in the meantime, here's what came out last Friday. The kit is absolutely gorgeous and a must-have for scrappers with boys or man to scrap. For me, it matched my son's new hat so well it's like the kit was made for it. It's called Chronograph and still on sale for a few days (preview linked):

She also released Say It Ain't So (which I missed as I was still on holidays :( ):

danimoy designs was busy too! First was Easy Living, a really nice countryside type of kit:

I used it for a pic of a little walk in the French countryside on January 1st!

Then she released Heaven Sent, a gorgeous collab with A+ Designs:

I used it for the photos of my first Mother's day as a Mom. They were taken with a video camera rather than a camera and came out a little greenish, especially with the green wall behind, and somehow it works pretty well with this kit :D

Simple Girl Scraps came out with a really fun kit for New Year's Day appropriately called Happy New Year:

I used it for my January desktop:

Then she released a fun kit to get people started on a healthier year. It's called Make It Happen, as is the challenge she's hosting at ScrapDelicious:

I used this one for my "design your own" water bottle:

And finally, I used Colie's Corner's Let Renovate, to participate in her Sunday Brunch Crunch (template) challenge. Here are the kit and my layout with our 2011 improvements to our house:


So, I know lots of you scrap this much all the time, but for me it had been a while since I scrapped this much in 10 days (and I did two more I can't show you yet...).
Thanks for looking, leave me a little hello if you have time ;)

Thanksgiving photos?

Happy Thanksgiving week-end to all my American friends!!
If you took lots of photos of family, food, or anything else, I have the kit for you!!
It's called Turkey Day, by Colie's Corner, and it's awesome, take a look:

I'm directing you to Colie's store (image linked) where you will also find some page starters, some quickpages, and some awesome templates to coordinate with the kit. I used one of the templates myself:

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, black Friday and week-end.
Thanks for looking!

I'm back!!

I'm back from Jamaica and I have quite a bit to show!
But I'm going to start with the recent new releases.
Simple Girl Scraps, despite being on hiatus, has an awesome new kit in store. And she updated the store with lots of previous ones that were in other stores (she's now exclusive to ScrapDelicious).
The new kit is Happy Fall and it's awesome!!

And I love the result of my layout with it :D

She's also having a sale so you can't go wrong with a little shopping at her store:

Here's another kit that made it to the store and my layout (for all your summer photos or swimming lessons):


Let's move on to danimoy designs, who despite having a hard time with her place after floods, manage to release a beauty for the Grab A Byte at ScrapBookBytes, called Cozy Winter. Each part is only $1 and coordinates to a lot of other goodies in the store:

And my layout:

As it seems I'm going through the designers in reverse alphabetical order, here's what kind of new with Colie's Corner. The kit came out before I left and I only had time to scrap with it there. It's a beautiful, soft coloured, Halloween kit, called All Hallows Eve:

I used it to scrap my costume this past Halloween:

And finally, Artgal Style's latest kits. She just releases Bohemian, but I didn't have a chance to scrap with it... It's a very elegant kit and could easily be "Christmas-y"...

I did however have a chance to use the beautiful Meridian:

And my layout:

Phew, are you still there?
Hope you like what you saw ;)

October

Well, there's no denying it, it's October! It's crazy that it's already the 10th... I feel like the month just started, and that's why I just just made my desktop (I guess I have two thirds of the month left to enjoy it...).
I still have to prepare my house for our trip to Jamaica in 3 weeks (my in-laws are staying over to watch our son, so it has to be CLEAN), figure out how to make Halloween treats with no dairy and no gluten, and plan our costumes.

For now, let me show you the super cute kit I used for my desktop. It's a kit by Colie's Corner called In The Woods. It's nicely "fally" and the colours are very rich, and there is a bunch of adorable animals, so cute I had to use them all.

That's the cute kit, but I recommend grabbing the bundle where you get awesome clusters, wordart, QPs and templates for only $7!!

If you look on the bundle preview, you'll notice I started with one of the clusters, but I wanted to put all the animals, and the mushrooms, so I built on it :D

I made if for the challenge at Scrapable of course, come play with us in the challenges ;)
I'm off to enjoy a family day off on this gorgeous Canadian Thanksgiving Monday!!
Thanks for looking!

Touch of Autumn

Colie's Corner and her CT lead have asked me to stay on the CT, yay!!!
So today I get to show you Touch of Autumn, a beautiful fall kit, with the cutest fally elements and a gorgeous colour scheme.
I used it to scrap a photo of a single birch leaf that fell on my deck and was full of little rain drops. I love that pic!!

Here's the kit, linked to the store ;)

And here's my layout:

Thanks for looking!

Now Playing...

...Harry Potter?
Colie's Corner new release today is a movie themed beauty and I used it to show off the one and only pic I have of me going to see a Harry Potter movie. Incidentally, it's the last HP movie ever but I was lucky enough to have gotten a Gryffindor scarf from the them park for xmas, so I was wearing it in the photo and looking like the geeky fan that I am ;)

Take a look at the kit "Now Playing" and her cool new "Candy Coated" alpha:


I should mention I used one of Colie's awesome templates for the Sunday Brunch Crunch at Gotta Pixel:

Thanks for looking!!

Lots of gorgeousness!

I'm referring to the kits I used of course, not the layouts I made (I'll let you be the judge of how those look).

I'll do my CTs alphabetically today ('cause why not, lol).
Artgal has released two new kits since I last posted. The first is a moon/sleep themed beauty with calm colours called Georgia Moon:

I scrapped an old pic I love of my son sleeping on my shoulder:

The second one is quite the opposite. A very versatile, everyday kit with bright fun colour called Sarasota, which I used to scrap my furry girl:

And she also took part in the September collab at Plain Digital Wrapper. It's called Garden Grows and it's full of gardening tools, fruits and veggies and many versatile items as well:

I used it for a speed scrap at Scrapable (one of the funnest places in Scrapland!!) with a pic whose colours match the kit really well (and I have to say I'm quite happy with the result):


Next is my guest CT spot for Colie's Corner. She released a great kit with a weather theme called Rainy Days:

I used it to journal about one of the craziest weather experiences I've ever had... a wicked storm. I also used one of her awesome templates:


Sadly, Dani from danimoy designs hasn't had a new release, and that's because her house flooded really badly. Her entire area is quite devastated, she still does not have heat or hot water and lost a lot. She's a single mom and just started a new full time job, so she needs all the support she can get... So I'm going to remind you of how gorgeous her kits are and if you're in need of new scrapping goodies, I suggest you visit her store, you won't be disappointed!!

There's something for everyone, check it out!!

And last but not least, Simple Girl Scraps is really busy right now, but she's letting us use some of her older kits, and that's awesome!! The one I asked for was perfect for my little man starting school. It's a fall-y kit with the cutest owls and some really fun patterns. Take a look at Owl Be Home:

And here's my owl leaving the nest (that's what the title means ;) ):

DONE!! All the kit previews are linked to stores for your shopping pleasure ;)
Thanks for looking, I'll be back with exciting news!!
